OF EDINBURGH On Sunday 27th March 1864, Police-constable Borley
observed a boy named Atkins leaving the house with a jug of beer, at a
quarter past twelve. Before the magistrates on Saturday 2nd April Matsell said that his clock was wrong and he thought it was twenty-five
minutes to one. He was found guilty of drawing beer during the hours of
divine service and was fined 2s 6d and 12s 6d costs. On Saturday 29th August 1874 owner and occupier John
Ellis applied for a spirit licence. The Chairman and Major Holloway, a
member of the Bench, agreed that they could not entertain such a request
since other beerhouses would expect the same favour. Trade given March 1905 as 126 barrels per annum. |
